About supported archive targets

When you configure the Archive Node to connect with an external archive, you must select the target type.

The StorageGRID Webscale system supports the archiving of object data to the
cloud through an S3 interface or to tape through TSM middleware.

More information

Archiving to the cloud through the S3 API
You can configure an Archive Node to target any external archival storage system that is capable of interfacing with the StorageGRID Webscale system through the S3 API.

Archiving to tape through TSM middleware
You can configure an Archive Node to target a Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) server which provides a logical interface for storing and retrieving object data to random or sequential access storage devices, including tape libraries.
